Really like the bit at the beginning about the science and research behind self-compassion. Also love the tone and cadence of their voice.

Lovely and deep. I truly appreciate the references at the start regarding suffering. A gentle reminder of the reality of struggles in life and how they can make us stronger. Thank you Hugh for bringing it to light.

Great simple back to basics type meditation. 15 minutes flew by. I love Hugh's voice. Warm but not sanguine. Just calm and steady
